Peri-Surgical HBOT: Enhancing Outcomes through Pre- and Post-Op Oxygenation 1. Rationale Surgery provokes a systemic stress response—hypoxia in marginal tissues, inflammation, and risk of infection—that underlies up to 50 % of postoperative complications (e.g., surgical-site infections, anastomotic leaks). Adjunctive HBOT…
Discover the therapeutic benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) remains an underappreciated modality in the medical community, despite its clinically impressive outcomes, particularly in conditions where conventional treatments have faltered. This therapy, involving the inhalation of pure oxygen…
Use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) in Comprehensive Wound Care Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is an integral component of comprehensive wound care, particularly for chronic and non-healing wounds. Here’s how HBOT fits into the broader context of wound management: 1.…
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy improves physical performance in older adults As we age, there is indeed a natural decline in physical activity capacity that can affect even healthy individuals who exercise regularly. This decline is multifactorial and can be influenced by…
HBOT as a Complementary Treatment in Cancer I have been in the hyperbaric field for more than thirty years. During that time, many have come to me with questions concerning cancer. I am providing this narrative to clarify the role…
Anti- Aging and HBOT Aging is characterized by the progressive loss of physiological capacity. Age-related diseases and degenerative maladies throughout the body are a growing concern world-wide. Telomere attrition (telomere shortening), which is the gradual loss of the protective caps…
Reversing Chronic Neuroinflammation Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has shown potential in modulating chronic neuroinflammation, which is a key factor in various neurological disorders. The therapy's ability to influence neuroinflammation involves several mechanisms: 1. Reduction of Inflammatory Mediators: HBOT can decrease…
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has been shown to have significant effects on inflammation in the human body, with research indicating multiple mechanisms through which HBOT can regulate inflammatory responses: 1. Reduction of Oxidative Stress: HBOT can mitigate oxidative stress in…
Stem Cells and Hyperbaric Treatment Treatment in a Hyperbaric environment has been shown to increase and mobilize circulating stem cells. Research has shown that the degree that this occurs is directly related to the percent of oxygen breathed and the…
Hyperbaric oxygen and Hashimoto's Disease Autoimmune diseases (such as type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis) affect millions of Canadians, of all ages. These diseases occur when the human body’s immune system mistakenly attacks normal, healthy cells. Hashimoto's…
